The seal of the "old screw cap" also had a removable circular rubber seal. If this brittle and leaking could replace them for little money.
The seal on the new screw cap is firmly glued. Here, the seal brittle, should you buy a new screw cap equal to 8. Love Sigg marketing, I hope in five years, when the formerly renowned store is bankrupt or at best much more likely, for those responsible to be all fired! -> I think this will help, if necessary, again the good cutter knife and a replaceable seal ring. If a situation arises, there is an update here.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the older models have an epoxy coating inside, these can withstand temperatures greater than 40 ° C slack off. Unfortunately epoxy internal coatings health risk (bisphenol A - problem).
The new eco-interior coating is greater not suitable for temperatures 40 ° C. -> Chipping of the inner coating when cleaning / filling with hot water.
With my edited Sigg Water Bottle I am now satisfied. But is more to be expected for this price and the name Sigg. Perhaps the future model releases are again functioning on its own.
